    Abstract: A station that performs a method to coordinate transmissions of scheduling requests (SR) with OnDurations of a connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) cycle. The station receives a packet at a packet arrival time relative to a schedule indicating the SR opportunities and onDurations, the SR opportunities occurring at a first interval, the onDurations occurring at a second interval, the first interval being less than the second interval. The station determines an SR opportunity subsequent to the packet arrival time that precedes an entirety of a subsequent onDuration, such that a transmission duration to transmit the SR and the packet maximally overlaps with the selected onDuration. A sleep mode of the processor of the station is used until a time associated with the selected SR opportunity. An active mode of the processor is used to transmit the SR and receive control channel information during the onDuration.

    Abstract: A method for adaptively disabling receiver diversity is provided. The method can include a wireless communication device determining an active data traffic pattern; defining a threshold channel quality metric based at least in part on a threshold channel quality needed to support a threshold quality of service for the active data traffic pattern; comparing a measured channel quality to the threshold channel quality metric; and disabling receiver diversity in an instance in which the measured channel quality metric satisfies the threshold channel quality metric.
